"Hey guys! Oh my Gosh its so good to see you again! How are you? Whats up? Whats going on?" The boys were silent for a moment, immensely confused as to why Logan would leave their accident prone friend's number for clue as to where he could be. They stared at her face on their iPhone, not sure how to proceed.

"uh...guys?" Jenny asked, her voice laced with confusion. Kendall was the first to snap out of his thoughts. "Jenny! Have you heard from Logan recently? Like, since yesterday?"

Jenny laughed and said, "No silly! Why would I? Isn't he with you guys living the Big Time Rush dream?"

"Well he's kind of gone missing and he left your number as our only clue." James answered, worried that this was a mistake.

"My number? Well...that's weird. I haven't spoken to him since I last talked to all you guys when you called to congratulate me on my new CD." Jenny sounded worried, and she was. She liked Logan and he was her friend. She would hate for anything bad to happen to him.

"Can you think of anything? Of any reason at all why he would leave your number?" Carlos jumped in. He knew Logan and knew that his friend wouldn't have led them to Jenny without a reason.

Jenny was silent for a few moments, and the boys hopes were just beginning to become dashed when Jenny gasped and said, "Oh my Gosh. Did his parents find out he was gay?"

All three boys looked at each other confused. "Um...you knew he was gay?"

Jenny shook her head, "Not at first. But its the only thing that makes sense!" She exclaimed, "You see, it all happened when I was first getting ready to head to LA to meet up with you guys. When I first heard about Doctor Bonner."

"Doctor Bonner?" James repeated, confused. He had never heard of the guy.

"I don't know the whole story, but something about a relative of Logan's, his cousin. She was one of his patients, and well,...he sorta 'helps' people people become straight. He's supposed to be this big shot psych doctor in Minneapolis who helps people with, ya know, OCD and stuff...but it came out that he was practicing turning gay people straight...but in a really terrible way. He said he had 'the cure'."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kendall growled, but his mother placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"I really don't know." Jenny answered, "OK. So here's what happened. Logan's cousin comes to me like, the night before I left to go see you in L.A. for the first time..."

"You're in Logan's class right?"

Jenny let out a scream, jumped a mile, and accidentally knocked over a row of bikes lined up outside the library. She turned around to face a girl in her early twenties, with long raven hair and pale skin, but sharp blue eyes that seemed almost...dead.

"Uh...Logan? Like Logan Mitchell?" Jenny asked, pushing a black BMX off her leg before bouncing up and brushing some snow off her skirt.

The girl nodded and remained silent.

"Uh Yeah! I'm actually going to LA to see him tomorrow!" She held up the plane tickets she had printed out from the library's computers and the Singing Awesome for Dummies guide. "How do you know him?" Jenny paused, the continued, "Wait...I know you..." Jenny cocked her head to the side and said, "That Christmas eve..."

"I'm...his cousin. Olive. We've...met before." Olive cut in, then hesitated. She looked around as if to make sure they were alone. "Can you give him this? Please he has to know this. Please give it to him. It's so important." In a flourish the girl came alive briefly to push a folded note into Jenny's hands.

"Oh uh OK. Sure!" Jenny said, holding the note tightly in her hand. The girl bit her lip and said, "Tell him...it's OK. He's OK the way he is." Then she simply turned around and walked away.

"Weird." Jenny commented before taking a step and promptly slipping on some ice, falling over onto a mailbox which in turn knocked over a streetlight.

"Did Logan get the note?" James asked.

Jenny nodded. "I gave it to him right before I left for the tour, when you guys helped me find a band."

"What did it say?" Carlos inquired.

Jenny shrugged. "Beats me. It was private. But I've met Logan's cousin before, during a Christmas

party at his house back when we were Freshman. Our mom's are pretty close. But, things got...kinda out of hand there. Logan can tell you what happened better than me. See, I don't know the whole story, about Logan's cousin and everything. But it was my mom who told me about Dr. Bonner. You know how small our town is. Everyone knows everyone's business. She's the one who told me about how Sarah was a patient with Dr. Bonner. I heard the rumors about his 'cure' and just put it all together."

"I wonder if Dr. Bonner is the man who showed up to the hotel last night. If one of his patients was Logan's cousin, it makes sense he would have been used again in the family." James commented.

"I wish I could be of more help guys." Jenny frowned, hoping she had helped Logan.

"You've been awesome Jenny. We'll let you know what happens." Carlos said.

"Thanks. Good lu-" Jenny's words were cut off by a loud BOOM! "Oops. I think my nachos are done." She said, and waved good bye with the sound of sirens approaching in the background.

James cut off the phone call. "OK. So, all we need to do is find out if Dr. Bonner has any-"

He was cut off by Kendall who was looking at his own phone. "Dr. Bonner has an office here in LA. It's actually only 20 minutes from here."

"Lets go." Carlos said, throwing on his helmet and giving it a hard smack to prove he was ready to get down to business.

"Whoa whoa. You guys are not just going to barge into some strangers office who might be dangerous." Mama Knight said, blocking the doorway with her arms crossed and both mothers on either side of her in a similar stance.

"Mom, Logan is in trouble. We have to get to him as soon as possible." Kendall pleaded as he threw on his jacket.

"You should give this information to the police." Carlos's mother explained.

"Mom, you didn't heard dad. He said the police can't do anything until they have proof, and even then, because it was Logan's parents, there really isn't any crime here. And we can't prove that this Dr. Bonner guy has Logan, but we have to try."

Both mothers looked at each other, their resolve waning in the possibility of Logan being in danger.

"What about the concert?" Brooke asked.

The boys turned to each other, than back to their mothers. Kendall pondered a moment before saying, "Well...you said anything we needed right?"

Kendall was sure, five miles away, he could hear Gustavos scream of rage when he came into the back stage room with his three dogs missing, and their mothers all drinking tea, pretending to have no clue as to where their sons went.

The boys took Mrs. Knights car, after promising profusely to be careful. By using the GPS in Kendall's iPhone they eventually came upon the office of Dr. Bonner.

There was nothing special about the office. In large bold letters across the top stated this building was the Medical Facility of Mental and Physical Health of L.A. The building rose to three floors, and the front had with two wide glass doors leading inside. The rest of the windows along the building were tinted, so no one could see inside.

In their parked car they regarded the large building for a moment before turning to each other. "Well, we're here. What do we do now?" Carlos asked.

"You'll wait in the car," came a noise from beside Kendall in the drivers seat. All three boys jumped and turned to see officer Garcia next to their car.

"Dad..." Carlos muttered, nervously, "What are you doing here?"

"Following you to make sure you don't get yourselves killed. Your mother called me as soon as you left." The man said after Kendall rolled down the window.

"Officer Garcia..." Kendall began, but was cut off by a wave of the hand.

"I don't think so boys. Let me do it. Trust me. I'll be able to get a better answer with a badge than three boys barging in having no clue what their doing. So wait. Here." He instructed before heading inside.

Kendall turned to his friends, heaving a sigh, "So...air ducts."

"Air ducts." The boys agreed.

Despite all their years crawling through small air vents to sneak into one building or another, nothing could change the fact that they were older now, and the task was considerably harder when wearing skinny jeans made for only looking hot, not actually doing some immense mobile action in them.

"James, I love your mom. But she is never picking out pants for me again." Kendall hissed, stopping to adjust himself again before crawling forward.

"Please. You have never looked so good." James whispered back, not wanting to admit he was terribly uncomfortable as well.

"Carlos you see anything?" Kendall asked his helmet clad friend who was staring down through a vent just ahead of them.

"I don't know. It's like a doctors room, with the big chair and medical utensils, but I still don't see Logan." Carlos didn't want to mention that the 'big chair' also had restraints on the arms. His friend was already freaked out about Logan enough.

"Well we've already looked into three other rooms. Maybe Logan isn't here." James said. Kendall sighed, not wanting to admit defeat just yet.

"We can't give up yet!" Carlos shot back.

"Well if Logan isn't here then we're just wasting our time!" James argued.

"YOU don't know that." Carlos said.

"You don't know that either!"

"Don't be stupid."

"No, you're stupid"

"No! You're st-whoah, WHOAH!" Carlos had put to much weight on the vent he had been leaning on and it crashed open, taking the boy to the floor.

James and Kendall looked over at each other before quickly crawling to their fallen friend, who lay motionless on the floor.

James jumped down first, before bending and gathering Carlos in his arms. When he didn't wake up, he began shaking Carlos, whispering his name. Fear was pounding through him fast.

Kendall jumped down just as Carlos began to open his eyes, "Ow." He moaned, wincing as James pulled him into a hug.

"Are you OK?" James asked, pulling the shorter boy away from him to inspect him for injuries. His heart was going a mile a minute, petrified his secret love was hurt.

"Yeah. I think so...the helmet took most of the fall." He gave a small smile and tapped his hockey helmet gratefully.

"Good. Now we gotta hide. I'm sure someone heard that crash." Kendall instructed, peaking his head out of the office door, and quickly motioning his friends to follow him down the hallway when he realized there was no one out there.

The hallway was quiet. The carpet had a plain navy blue color to it which off set the grayish white walls. The doors were labeled with various doctors names and professions, but as they traveled further along, Kendall kept his eyes out for Dr. Bonner's name.

They walked as far as they could until they came to a dead end.

"Shh..I hear footsteps." James warned, and both boys stopped dead in their tracks when they heard voices and people getting closer. They seemed to be coming from a hallway nearby. The only way out was a door marked, Staff Only, to their left.

"Just as good an escape as any!" James exclaimed before throwing open the door, silently giving thanks it was unlocked, and all three jumped inside. It lead to a side, indoor fire exit stairwell that only went down.

They all looked at each other and shrugged, heading down the stairs and listening for opening doors or voices.

When they got to the first floor, Kendall said, "Maybe we can just go out through the front door."

But when he tried the door he found it locked. He really didn't want to leave. He was disappointed that they couldn't find Logan, and even more worried about where his boyfriend was than before.

"There's a lower level," Carlos said, leaning over the side to regard the next flight of stairs, "I think maybe to the basement. Maybe there is another way out through there." Carlos suggested. As eager as he was to find his missing friend, he was more worried about his fathers reaction to them being gone.

James threw open the door, revealing another set of stairs that went further into what looked like a basement or storage room. The basement seemed to span the entirety of the building, so it was quite large and open. Storage units lined the far left side of the wall. And, there were boxes piled up along the wall and in between those boxes were old chairs, desks and extra medical equipment.

James found a light switch next to the stairway and the boys descended, careful to be quiet. Each felt nervous since the room was quiet, dark and super creepy.

"This is way creepy." James muttered, taking in his surroundings.

"That doesn't matter." Kendall started, running a hand through his hair and turning to his James, his voice rising to panic. "We're at a dead end! We can't get out of the building. Gustavo's going to kills us anyways when we do. And we still don't know where Logan is! He could be anywhere. Anywhere at all-"

"Found him!" Called Carlos from the other end of the basement. Both James and Kendall turned to each other in confusion before dashing towards their friends voice.

Behind an old wired storage unit was Logan, curled up on the floor, asleep. Inside his wired cage was file cabinets and old boxes with paper sticking out of it.

"Logan!" Kendall called to his motionless friend before grabbing the door and trying to pry it open when he received no answer.

Locked.

"Damn it! How are we-" Kendall began before a loud, "Yeaaaah!" made him turn.

Carlos was bent over and rushing towards the door with speed. Both boys jumped out of the way just as Carlo's helmet rammed into the door, busting it open.

"Carlos are you crazy!" James exclaimed, rushing to his friend and turning him over to inspect him for injuries, again.

Carlos muttered something in Spanish before shaking his head a bit and smiling at James. "I found Logan!"

James laughed and pulled him in for a hug. "Yeah I know. Good job!" After all this was over he was going to have a talk with Carlos about how he kept putting himself in harms way. This was just getting ridiculous and he couldn't stand it if Carlos ever seriously hurt himself for one of them.

Both boys turned to Kendall, who was currently crouched in front of his boyfriend, holding him in arms and trying to wake him up. James and Carlos crawled over to the fallen boy, inspecting his condition.

Logan had a large, nasty bruise on his left cheek. A large bandage over his right eyebrow nearly covered his whole head. Also bruises covered his wrists and arms in various spots.

"Baby...Logan baby please...please wake up." Kendall begged softly, running a hand through Logan's raven hair as his head was gently cradled in the crook of Kendall's neck.

This continued on for a few minutes. Carlos and James remained silent, their worry rising as Kendall's voice softly but desperately tried to coax Logan awake. Both boys could tell from Kendall's voice he was trying hard not to cry.

Eventually, Logan groaned softly, moving his head to the side a bit as he slowly regained consciousness. Soon his eyes flew open and he jumped back, pushing away from Kendall.

"No! No!" He yelled twice while crawling back towards wall, his eyes screwed shut in pain as he buried his head in his knees and threw his hands over his ears, pressing his body into the wall as if he wanted to meld into it..

"Logan! Logan, listen to me. Listen to my voice. It's me, Kendall. I'm here with James and Carlos. We're here to help you." Kendall crawled over to the boy, forcefully grabbing his hands away from his ears.

Logan, shaking, opened his eyes. It took a moment for them to focus before he let out a weak breath, then croak out, "Kendall?"

Kendall nodded and let out a shaky breath as he moved his hands from Logan's wrists to cup his face.

"I'm here. I came for you. I'll always come for you." Kendall whispered.

Logan let out a broken sob before he launched himself into Kendall's arms, gripping him tightly and shaking like a leaf.

Kendall locked Logan into his arms, holding him tight with no intention of letting him go. Ever.

"Guys. As thrilled as I am that we found Logan, we have got to get out of here." James exclaimed, looking to his side and finding that Carlos was gone. Panic surged through him as he shot up, surveying his surroundings to where Carlos could have wandered off to.

Carlos then came around the corner from where some boxes were stacked and said, "There's a door that leads out to the back of the building. If it's unlocked we can go out that way."

Kendall looked down at his love and asked, "Can you walk?"

Logan nodded. Kendall stood and helped Logan up. He was still a bit shaky and slow to move. Kendall slid off his jacket and placed it around his boyfriends shoulders.

"They injected me with something. I'm not sure what it is but I'm still kind of loopy." Logan exclaimed wobbling a bit when he tried to take a step. Kendall's grip around Logan's waist just tightened at hearing his words.

They had just exited the storage unit when they were met with a voice from behind them, "And where do you think you're going?"

They turned and saw a tall man regarding them with a curious expression. He was in his 50's complete with gray hair, an older weathered face and deep brown eyes. His thin body was adorned with a white button down shirt and khaki pants. His tie was a plain navy blue.

Logan grasped onto Kendall's arm and let out a whimper. Kendall knew. "So you must be Bonner."

The man nodded and took a step towards him. "Yes." His voice was calm. Almost...friendly. "And that is my patient you have there. I would be happy to take him off your hands. You boys can just see yourself out now. All right?"

"I don't think so." James challenged, moving to stand next to his friends. Even though this guy didn't look all that threatening, he knew by now that they should not underestimate him, at all.

The man sighed, shaking his head and taking a step closer. "Now boys. Your friend here is very, very ill. He needs specific care that only I can give him. By taking him away, you are only hurting him more. Don't you want him to get better?" Bonner sounded like he really cared about Logan's well being, holding out a hand towards them, pleading.

Logan flinched at his movement. Kendall pushed Logan so he was standing behind him, out of Bonner's sight, but still holding his hand to maintain contact.

"Right. Because locking him in a basement is standard medical practice." Kendall shot back.

"Boys." Doctor Bonner's voice began to rise. "If you don't leave now, without Logan, I will be forced to call in the police due to your breaking and entering. I promise I will take good care of Logan. He and I are old friends." The man regarded Logan, who recoiled under his glare. "Aren't we?"

All three boys looked at Logan confused, but he just buried his face further into Kendall's back and remained silent.

Kendall turned back to the man, hate in his eyes, "Just leave him alone!"

The man, angry how, shouted, "Just give him to me or I'm calling the police!"

Just then a new voice echoed throughout the basement. "Considering I am the police, I will have to recommend that no, boys, you should not give Logan to this guy." Officer Garcia stalked down the stairs.

"See now, Iknow I don't got the best memory around, but I know my kid's friend. And I'm very, very sure that that is Logan. Which is why I am just so confused as to why you told me that, not only had you not seen Logan when I showed you his picture, you have never met the boy before in your life?"

Carlos's dad was at the end of the basement steps now, gun in one hand and cuffs in the other.

"So, just to clear things up, since we might both be confused here, why don't we continue this conversation somewhere a bit lighter? Say the police station. How about that hmm?"

Hurray! Logan is saved. But the story's not over yet! More to come...complete with Kogan and Jarlos goodness!
